The gift shop is full of enticing frog-themed items. I’d say it takes about 1h to visit at the fastest, but if you really like frogs then count on...

The ticket for this frog zoo is included with the ticket for I-zoo reptile zoo. My husband and I have raised dart frogs in the past, so we were very interested. The frogs are in well-kept, clean enclosures and they're clearly very well fed. The only disappointment was the frog room, which is fitted out as a frog utopia with plants and running water and mist. We couldn't find a single frog in there. Maybe it's TOO comfy and the frogs are living their best life and laughing at the humans trying...
